Austin Weather

Welcome

Welcome to Waterloo's web site. We hope you participate as a community and make this site your own. There is a forum and picture gallery where you can share in conversation or upload a photo. Many of the areas events will be listed in the news section, forums, and event calendar.

We ask you to register so you can participate on the site. An administrator will need to manually activate your account. This allows us to keep the spammers away.

If you'd like to be added to the waitlist, just let me know. The best ways are to send me an email at the club’s address waterloodgc@gmail.com, my personal address gordo@discgordo.com, or call the club cell phone at 512-994-9508 (be sure to leave a message if I don’t answer).

I need your name, division, and contact info (email and/or phone number). Remember, if you call the cell phone, be sure to leave a message with your info, including the date and time of your call. Don’t hang up and call later to try and reach me in person; that might just put you further down on the list.

If someone withdraws, I will contact the next person on the waitlist.

If you clear the waitlist before the tournament gets here, I'll contact you about it. Otherwise, the only thing you have to do is be there Saturday morning at tourney HQ when check-in closes at 8:30 am. Tournament HQ is by the Golf Course Pro Shop. If anyone drops out at the last minute or hasn't checked in, we'll drop them and fill their spot with someone from the waitlist.

Registration for the 40th Annual Waterloo Disc Golf Classic is now open! The flyer and the entry form are in the pictures with this post, or you can access them through the links just a little bit further down in this post. We will also post a “text only” version of the entry form in a separate post.

Sorry, but no online registration and no electronic payment is available.

You must either mail in your entry, with payment, or bring it to Zilker on Thursday evenings to give to me (Gordon).Postmark or the date I receive it in my hand will determine your date of entry. If there will be a Thursday when I can’t make it to Zilker, then I’ll designate the person who is running the mini/league that night to take them. Otherwise they need to come to me, not to someone else to give to me.

I recommend not waiting for Thursday to register in person. Spots always go very fast and by waiting you risk it filling up before you have a chance to get there. Mail in your entry right away so it gets a postmark before league night. Keep in mind that if you pay in person on Thursday I likely won’t be able to tell you that night whether you are in the tournament or whether you are on the waitlist. That is because it will be a few more days after that before stuff mailed and postmarked before league makes it to the club’s PO Box. However, it you are going to take a chance and wait until Thursday, see below:
For the next league night (Thursday, August 17th), I will be at Zilker Park to collect tournament entries even IF league has been cancelled.

* If league is ON, you can drop entries off with me between 4:30 – 6:00 (before the round) or from 8:00 – 8:30 (after the round). If you show up and find me on the course during the round, you need to have your money and entry form already filled out and ready just to hand to me. If you don’t have an entry form with you, grab one from the kiosk and fill it out before tracking me down, or at least have your basic info written on a piece of paper to give along with your check, money order, or cash. Please don’t show up with your money and expect me to stop my round to write all your info down; if you do that I will just send you back to the kiosk to get a form and then come back out and find me again ?.

* If league ends up being CANCELLED because of weather, I will still be there from 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm, either by the hole #1 teebox or in the parking lot by #1 if it is raining - in which case look for my dark blue Toyota Sienna mini-van.

We have about 90 Father Dave McC-Note Challengers right now (half-full), so that leaves about 90 spaces available. But don’t wait, the tournament usually fills up within 5 – 10 days; mail your entry in ASAP to secure your spot in this fun, awesome tournament.

Also, even though registration is now open, you can still take the Father Dave McC-Note Challenge. It no longer has the benefit of saving your spot, but you will still be helping out the charity plus you’ll get a cool McC-Note goodie in your player’s pack and you’ll have an extra CTP each round that is for McC-Noters only. Every year a number of people do this, you can be one of them this year.

We would really appreciate if you would take these around to local businesses you may know or visit frequently to ask if they will sponsor the tournament. The more sponsorship we get, the more money we can raise and the more we can do for all the players. Thanks!

With the 40th Annual Waterloo Disc Golf Classic coming up in just over a couple of months (Oct 20-22, 2017), it is time to start asking for your support as a sponsor. Last year the tournament raised $9,100 for the Austin Ronald McDonald House, and that pushed us to a grand total of just over $117,000 in cash for the charity over the years. We can’t do this kind of fundraising without a LOT of help from our sponsors.

In the tournament's discussion thread on this site, in the Community Forums / Current Events section, are two posts (40th Waterloo Discussion Thread). One is our more complete sponsorship request letter. It is great for people or companies who aren’t familiar with the club, the tournament, and the charity. The other is for those who already know what we are about, much more basic; plus it has a part to fill out that helps us keep track of who is donating what, and at what sponsorship level.

You can also email us for copies of these letters, we can send them as .pdf files or Microsoft Word files, just send us a note at waterloodgc@gmail.com.

Will you please help support this historic tournament and this wonderful charity?

Also, please take these letters around to any local businesses you think might be willing to donate. Cash, merchandise, gift cards, swag, it ALL helps! Don’t be shy about asking, just talk about the good the charity does and the hundreds of people who will be at the event, and ask if they can contribute. The worst anyone can do is say “no”.

We are back at Hancock Golf Course for the 5th straight year, and looking forward to another wonderful Waterloo Disc Golf Classic. Last year's event raised $9,100 for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Texas (RMH), bringing our grand total donation to RMH to over $117,000!

Doubles (one round, flex start) all day on Friday, October 20th; three and a half rounds of Singles on Sat & Sun, Oct 21-22, 2017.

Come enjoy the oldest, longest running disc golf tournament in the Southwestern U.S. and one of the oldest in the world. You will play two full 18-hole disc golf courses on this scenic 9-hole ball golf course, the oldest golf course west of the Mississippi. A "Disc-Golf-Famiy" event like no other.
